IL to-dsy'S GAzErTE appears an
illustrated letter from the New York
Saa, written by q correspondent Of
that paper visiting the Islands, There
was mistake in the original which
we correct. VIZ, ''Wailuku" having
been given rs "Wailulu." Perhaps
the most interesting feature Of this
reproduction, readable as the letter
press is and comieal as are the illus
trations, Is the fact that the cuts used
in this paper have been made in
Honolulu The artist is Henry CRUDE
Marchant, 8 youth whose self-taught
skill in engraving has frequently
been remarked in the local papers, He
drew the figures freehandedly on the
wooden blocks 10 be engraved. not
being acquainted with the process Of
direct transfer of prints employed by
engraverS. The accuracy with which
he has reproduced the outlines Is
remarkable, - anyone can see by
eolnpariSou with the original on
application 70 himself. Since receiv-
ing the work from HIM we have been
informed that the Government has
placed Marchant on the list Of young
Hawauans for education abroad, He
Is 10 be sent TO Boston and appren-
tieed TO the engraving business, 1t
Is doubtful If better selection could
be made under the periodical appro-
priation for that purpose. One who,
without tuition in the art. having
only two or three rude, homemade
tools to work with, and not even the
proper quality of wood to operate
upon, can produce such presentable
work as the illustrations referred TO.
Is bound TO SurpaSs in the art under
proper instruction. In the proof
taken apart from the type the pic
lures look frstrate- barring a def
cheney IN shading being about as
good as the original Sketches-and if
the blocks come up as well in the
printing of the paper they will be a
creditable testimonial to the artistic
tyro. Once ne has learned the busi
ness IN q hrSt-class establishment, he
VIII be IN q position to fully repay
the country for the expense of his
training. BY furnishing local peri
odicals with illustrations made on
the spot of Hawaiian scenery, new
inventions in machinery produced by
local genius, and other objects of
local interest which cannot be prop
erly described otherwise, besides
being II a position to teach the art
to other young Hawaiians similarly
talented, young Marchant should be
able to amply repay the Investment

RECENTLY s select committee Of the
British House Of Commons reported
upon the subject Of pensions. They
recommended several changes in the
practice. Pensions should not be
granted except IN consideration Of
services rendered Officers, heredl-
tary and otherwise, carrying salaries
without having duties or more than
nominal duties attached 10 them,
should be abolished. No pension
should be granted extending to the
time Of future generations, 50 that
none but the generation that was
benefited by the services Of the
grantee would have to bear the bur
der OF rewar6ing such services.
These were amOug the chief recon-
mendatiOnS made 10 Parliament, and
they VIII probably be adopted IN the
near future. 1t appears that the pen
Si0uIug business, apart from royal
allowances. has become q serious bur
den To the British taxpayer, The
late Hawaiian Legislature began &
lively race with older countries IN
the creation Of pensioners, selecting
subjects for this distinction in some
cases apparently for no other reason
than to make respectable company
for objects Of palpabIy gratuitous
favor. Of course we do not expect
that the Reform Legislature VIII re-
sumo this business But ii might be

ed my sin; that carried my sorrows; that
fought my battles; that won my victories"'
Oh, radiant One, how would like to see
Thee! Thou of the manger, but without
its humiliation. Thou Of the cross, but
without it's pangs; Thou of the grave, but
without it's darkness.
The Bible intimates that we will talk
with Jesus in heaven just as a brother talks
with brother. Now, what will you ask
Him first? I do not know. can think
what would ask Paul first, if l saw him
in heaven. I think would like to hear
him describe the storm that came upon the
ship when there were two hundred and sew
enty-five souls on the vessel, Paul being the
only man on board cool enough to describe
the storm. There is fascination about
ship and the sea that shall never get over,
and think I would like to hear him talk
about that first. But when l meet my
Lord Jesus Christ, of what shall first de-
light to hear Him speak? Now l think
what it is. / shall first want to hear the
tragedy of His last hours; and then Luke's
account of the crueifxion, and Marks &C
count of the crucifxion, and Johns account
of the crucifixien will be nothing, while
from the living lips of Christ the story shall
be told of the gloom that fell, and the devils
that arose, and the fact that upon His en-
durance depended the rescue of a race; and
there was darkness in the sky, and there was
darkness in the soul, and the pain became
more sharp, and the burdens became more
heavy, until the mob began to swim away
from the dying vision of Christ, and the
cursing of the mob came to his ear more
family, and his hands were fastened to the
horizontal piece of the cross, and his feet
we're fastened to the perpendicular piece OF
the cross, and his head fell forward in
swoon as he uttered the last moan and cried:
sit is finishedp' All heaven will stop to
listen until the story is done, and every harp
will be put down, and every lip closed, and
all eyes fixed upon the divine narrator, un-
til the story is done; and then, at the tap of
the baton, the eternal orchestra will rouse
up; finger ON string of harp, and lips to the
mouth of trumpet, there shall roll forth the
oratorio of the Messiah: "Worthy is the
Lamb that was slain to receive blessing and
riches, and honor, and glory, and power,
world without end -
"What He endured oh, who can tell.
To save our souls from death and helll"
When there was between Paul and that
magnificent parsonage only the thinness of
the sharp edge of the sword of the execu-
toner, do you wonder that he wanted to
go! o. my Lord Jesus, let one wave of
that glory roll over this auditory! Hark
hear the wedding bells of heaven ringing
now. The marriage of the Lamb has come,
and the bride hath made herself ready.
